I’m going to Europe this summer (France and Italy). Any recos for the best items to get there (bags, sunglasses, belts)? I know buying there can be cheaper than the US. Any tips on where to go?

The Max Mara teddy icon coat is my fave purchase of all time - it’s 10000 percent worth the cost - however in Italy it was like $2000 cheaper. If you’re going to Florence - go to the outlets the prices are amazing, I got a beautiful Burberry trench coat for like 60% off. They have moncler, Gucci, Celine, Burberry, Saint Laurent, BV and so much more there! If you’re going to Paris - buy your Chanel there… but for even better pricing go to London Heathrow Chanel, they don’t allow waiting lists so most of your wish list items will be there. Happy shopping!

Max Mara is great. And you can buy from their outlet as well.

Wow amazing thank you for this info. Super excited!

I am also going to London so good tip there for the Chanel Heathrow. Also will be in Spain so. Let me know if you have any top tips for Spain as well.

Thanks so much!

Also Rome international airport I found Max Mara to have amazing prices.

Spain, I’m not too sure to be honest. While I’ve been to Spain several times it’s not the place I go shopping in. For your best prices I’d stick to the countries where the brands originated (France and Italy mostly). If you buy your Chanel in Paris the boxes are white so it’s kind of a cool memento and prices are cheaper than US AND you get tax refund at the airport. I think the VAT refund for France is like 12%
